A data owner with a set of files can “publish” the files by sharing them with the Data Federation domain, naming them in the data catalog structure, and specifying access rights. Typically the data owner publishes an entire directory. Applications and users who need the file can then access it through the data catalog without having to know where it is located.
Files can be shared from direct-attached storage, network-attached storage, or SAN storage. Data Federation can handle very large files.
